I am going to write a short version of the story that lead to me working with Brian Lukrich on a documentary called "Finding Adam O'Neal". Brian Lukrich goes to the Art Institute of Portland and today he is graduating. In order for him to graduate today, he had to finish a senior project showing that he knows how to make a film from Start to finish. Last year he started on his Sr. Project with a short film called "Brio" that I worked on, which due to a few issues, never got finished. As the deadline started to creep up on Brian, he was struggling to come up with what he wanted to do for his Sr. Project. One night we were Gtalking (Google Talk) about how fun it might be to do something with Adam and thats when the idea came up to do a short documentary on finding Adam since we had no clue where he was. Time passed and we couldn't get things scheduled quickly enough, so we decided to drop the Adam idea and shoot a horror short film two weeks ago. When he took this footage in to his teacher, she rejected the film and said that he needed to do the documentary to graduate. So, there we were with only 1 week to go to finish a documentary film. We ended up shooting everything last Saturday until about 4:00am, and a little shooting on Sunday.  Since it was due on Wednesday of this week, we stayed up tuesday until 3:30am finishing the project which was due in the morning. It was very tiring and another project that was forced to be done under a very tight deadline. 

I just wanted to say thanks to James Paterson, Kelsey Belden, Bill Belden, Ginny Hogan, Mark O'Neal, and Adam O'neal for helping get this done.  Brian and I really appreciate everyones willingness to make time at the last minute. It was shown last night at the Hollywood Theatre and from what I heard, it made a few people laugh. You can click here or on the picture above to watch the film.
